I think dancing is one of Jehovah‘s weirdest creations. I have never been able to rationalise the concept in my mind as to why people feel compelled to do it. What I do know though, is that one day, this gymnastic display will seen by youth as “dad dancing”. What will be in vogue then is anybody’s guess, but it will be strange indeed, and I can hardly wait to see our football players mimic it after they score a goal. I hope if you do master this dance Ms Ladyblue, you post a video here. I’m intrigued.
That is actually hilarious. What a wonderful creation we are, and how privileged we are to have so many outlets of joy. This by the way is my go to move, works every time.

Wonderful indeed. I have this image in my mind now of Ms Ladyblue “strutting her stuff” and I find it strangely alluring! It might even inspire me to poetry. I have a sense of awareness though that Jehovah put dancing in everyone’s mind (except mine) to remind us of our place in the great scheme of things. I can’t help but think he has something worse in mind for me!
Ms Ladyblue, she loves to dance,
and ‘get on down’ just to enhance
the grace and favour of her moves
as Frank Sinatra plays the blues.

I'm amazed at how lame this site is getting

There is a drag towards the irrelevant aspects of the world. I expect it. I am part of it - I live in this world (well, sort of - I have my doubts). Take anything good and it will become diluted. There are a multiplicity of reasons and unless these are taken into account, then a stumbling block will evolve quite rapidly. I miss the almost weekly investigations that Robert used to present on his old site, but there are competing issues. If we still require insight into the basic issues of the truth, and if we are honest, we are only allowed to see “basic”, then essentially, that is our fault. These basics have been studied here over and again, so what is new to learn?

What is left to learn is the application of truth within ourselves. Study, introspection - self analysis - self examination of our own spirituality. Which one of us can possibly stand up in front of a mirror and claim to be a worthy example of even these basic tenets of truth? Not one of us. However,

There remains the human application. Human application is as important as the truth itself because simply put, humanity is the reason for the truth. Had Adam not sinned, we would be “up there” with the angels in our understanding and absorption of “Truth”. They managed it without sin. We could too. Their lives are magnificent with the application of truth and they live and aspire to their own selves in their own way to achieve their purpose and rejoice in it. Jehovah made these spirits to live. The fact that they are compelled to make all that they do worthy of their creator does not mean they spend their day grovelling before Him. Their purpose is surely no different than ours in our respective gift of life. Praise, true praise, is freely given and reflected within the accomplishment and freedoms that are given by our creator to all things he has made. Each one is about their business and the joy is in knowing the love of the creator. That compels us to worship by, in and through our living. That is true from a snail 🐌 upwards.

I found the truth in this site. It restored my faith in Jehovah. For years I wandered with the one thought in my mind that Jehovah is more merciful than His people. That may sound obvious, but that is not really the whole truth of the matter. It is why. The Why is in His people. And that is why when you meet these people that are truly informed, compared at present with the watchtower version, that the wider example of living under the Name of Jehovah becomes clear. At present, it is seen in its potential. Later, we will see it fulfilled in those same ones.

Certainly we do not live by bread alone, but by the every utterance from Jehovah. But we cannot expect its fulfilment now, and in understanding why people here feel safe to share and discuss, to joke and express themselves, to reveal personal detail, to “dance” and express hope - that is a foretaste of things to come. Value it. It is as rare as hens teeth. You will note that the theme of the site has not changed, but expanded, but how much are we to expect of others is a measure of our own needs, not theirs. This site is soon to be wiped clean off the face of the earth. I am sure Jehovah will protect it until He has to let it go. So our own study and discussion is up to us. The more we provoke discussion in truth, the more truth will be discussed. Take the initiative. Ask a question. But through it all, enjoy the fellowship of a diverse and wonderful group of people struggling to deal with the coming tragedy of deliverance. It is all true to what we are. We are responsible for the gift of this site. It is up to each of us to keep it on track, but living is an expression of who we are.

Actually, BTD, my interest in dancing isn’t just confined to dancing as when you’re listening to music. I took dance lessons growing up and as a young adult…even sent one of my daughters to take dance lessons for years.
I love all kinds of dancing such as ballet, tap,jazz, ballroom dancing. When we‘d have a congregation talent show I ’choreograph’ a dance with three young sisters. It came off a hit BTD! Lol
At one time I wanted to become a dance instructor but as a witness I thought how much time that might take from my theocratic pursuits, pioneering etc.

Dancing is not so way out there. It helps to keep you fit and to be more coordinated.
Did you know that’s why football players take ballet so as to have coordination when playing football. I guess playing different plays in the game.

Anyway, there are positive aspects to dancing BTD. Maybe, you’ll eventually learn to love dancing one day. Hmm 🤔
